Best Bluetooth Wireless Headphones - February 2018

These days, many smartphones are eliminating the headphone jack, and leaving users either needing to use the USB-C to 3.5mm headphone jack dongle (which you can't charge your phone at the same time) or switch to Bluetooth. The good thing here is that Bluetooth headphones have gotten much better over the past few years, so switching to Bluetooth is better than ever. For that reason, we have rounded up the best Bluetooth headphones that are currently available. This list has headphones in all price points, with some as cheap as $25, and some going up to around $300.

One of our picks from this list is the Sony WH1000X M2. These were announced last fall at IFA 2018, and quickly became an audiophile favorite. These are one of the more expensive models on this list, but they are more than worth it - and you can read our review to see why. These headphones have pretty incredible battery life, with over 30 hours of continuous playback on a single charge, with noise cancellation enabled. Sony has also included a variety of features like ambient sound and it still has NFC for easy pairing. Sony offers the WH1000X M2's in two colors, black and tan.

Another pick of ours from this list are the Jaybird RUN - which you can also read that review to see why. The Jaybird RUN are easily the best pair of truly wireless headphones currently available. These offer around 4 to 6 hours on a single charge, but with the included battery case, you can get another 12 hours or so out of these. They also fit in your ears very nicely and are made for runners, so they aren't going to fall out when you go for a run. Finally, the audio quality is really good with the Jaybird RUN, and with the included Jaybird app, you can tailor the audio to your taste, with more bass, or clearer mids, etc. These are just two of the many headphones on this list, these are all really good headphones, even the Anker SoundBuds Slim which are just $25. It's hard to go wrong with any of the ones in this list.

V-MODA Crossfade 2

V-MODA has a great pair of wireless headphones here, in the Crossfade 2. They are a bit expensive, but definitely worth the price. V-MODA is pretty well-known for its great audio quality, but also its battery life. The Crossfade 2's can last around 14 hours on a charge, and V-MODA also has a quick charge functionality, where you can get 3 hours of charge after 30 minutes of charging.

Those that are looking for a pair of headphones to take to the gym, will want to checkout the SoundSport Wireless from Bose. These are a great pair for the gym since they are wireless and sweatproof. These do also offer up some incredible sound, as you'd expect from Bose. These also offer up some decent battery life, around 6 hours on a charge.

Speaking of headphones for the gym, the Anker SoundBuds Slim are another great choice. These are also sweatproof, making them great for running, but also slim, so they won't slide out of your ears. Now these won't provide the same level of audio as the V-MODA or Bose' headphones above, but these are also priced at just $25.

The "around the collar" headphones have become very popular in the last few years, largely due to LG's Tone lineup. The Tone Infinim is a bit older, but still a great pair to pick up. These offer up some incredible sound, and great battery life. And they can sit around your neck or even under your collar out of the way.

Here we have a pair of truly wireless headphones, this time from Sony. These are a great pair to pick up, since they are truly wireless, and you won't need to worry about the cable getting tangled up. Additionally, the WF1000X are actually pretty cheap when it comes to truly wireless headphones. And these come in a few colors,

JLab Audio also produces a pretty inexpensive pair of headphones here, in the Epic2's. These are a great pair of wireless earbuds, which have 8mm drivers in each ear, to keep things sounding really good. These are waterproof with a IPX5 rating, so you can take these to the gym and not worry about it getting damaged.

One of the more expensive models on this list, the Jaybird FREEDOM 2 are also a great pair of wireless earbuds. These also feature Speedfit, which allow you to shorten the cable, so it's not dangling behind your neck. Making it more comfortable when running. The FREEDOM 2 are also very lightweight and offer somewhat decent battery life, which is around 8 hours of continuous playback.

The Sony WH1000X M2's are said to be the best of the best right now, in the world of Bluetooth headphones. These offer up insane battery life of over 30 hours with active noise cancellation enabled, and also have ambient sound, so you can still hear what's happening around you. These also provide some incredible audio for your ears, once you use the WH1000X M2's, you'll never go back to another pair of headphones.

These are currently one of our favorite pairs of truly wireless headphones. Largely because these are small, and fit in your ears nicely, with great audio and battery life. The Jaybird RUN come with a variety of ear tips so they can stay in your ears, and are made specifically for runners. Additionally, with the Jaybird app for Android and iOS, you can critique the EQ on these headphones.

Rounding out the list, we have one more pair of truly wireless headphones, this time from Anker's offshoot brand, ZOLO. These are priced at $149, making them one of the cheaper truly wireless headphones, but these also offer around 4 to 6 hours of continuous playback and then another 48 hours from the included battery case. There is also an app that you can use to critique the bass and treble on these headphones, available for both Android and iOS.
